But Facebook serves another purpose. I'm on Facebook and it has proven invaluable in hooking up with former school and military friends; other than that, it's a way to pass the time, but not journal. I used to love updating my journal, and now, I could care less about it choosing, instead, to write in hard copy. Maybe we got tired of the world reading our lives? LOL It used to be fun in here!

I think some people have decided that they'd rather concentrate on one or the other. I use Facebook, too, but continue my roughly weekly updates here. However, I use both Facebook and LiveJournal for the same reason: keeping up on the shenanigans and goings-on of friends.

I'd write more fun stuff, but I don't want to offend your tender sensibilities with tales of arrests and orgies and virgin sacrifices and wet t-shirt contests and stuff.:-)

The interesting stuff happens when we travel. I do write about it, though. When I wrote about PlayOnCon in Birmingham earlier this year, didn't I mention those nearly naked women in body paint? Or our happy male friend who got one of the girls who worked in the bar to take off her shirt so he could put a duct-tape rose that she wanted in her cleavage?

Speaking of which, we shall be back in Birmingham in July of 2010 for PlayOnCon!

Again, Facebook is only good for finding old friends or playing Mafia Wars - not for journaling. I don't see the two as even remotely similar. I claimed my name on several sites (twitter, too) just to make sure crazy man (or woman) wouldn't get 'em, but I don't interact on most of them.

I think its largely Facebook that sucked so many people away. I've only become active again recently to compete in a writing contest.

Its kind of too bad, because one of the fun things about LJ is that you end up friends with all kinds of people who you never knew before, where-as on Facebook, you primarily reconnect awkwardly with people who used to have crushes on you in high school.

What you say is all true, although my high school buddies are mostly female (LOL). :> I just lost my taste in being here for some reason, and was hoping someone could explain this phenom, beyond "Facebook is teh evil". :D

And I damn sure ain't participating in any writing contest on El Jay. That would be like participating in the special olympics, doncha think?

There's also not a whole lot of functionality at LiveJournal. I mean, the most useful feature is the friends' page and even that is sort of outclassed by Twitter and Facebook's front page feed. I guess basically there are better options out there for most casual users, which leaves the hardcore fanfic, furry and emo communities to keep things going.
